Zeeshan Siddiqui’s photo recovered on the phone of one of the accused in the attack.

MLA Zeeshan Siddiqui, son of late NCP leader Baba Siddiqui’s photo, was recovered on the phone of one of the accused in the attack. The photo was sent to the accused by their handler through the app Snapchat, which they used for communication. These messages were also deleted on the order of their handler, who is apparently Shubham Lonkar, who is said to be linked to the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang. A day after Baba Siddiqui’s death, Shubham’s brother, Pravin Lonkar, put up a post on Facebook claiming that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was behind the murder. In the investigation earlier, the accused revealed that Zeeshan Siddiqui was also a target.

The accused reveals details.

The accused revealed to the police that Shubham Lonkar chose Dharmaraj Kashyap and Shivakumar Gautam because they wouldn’t be aware of Baba Siddiqui’s stature in Maharashtra and would have committed the murder without any qualms. The Mumbai crime branch, on Saturday, stated that the arrested accused, Ram Kanojia and Nitin Sapre, were the first to be given the contract to kill the NCP leader and had initially demanded one crore rupees.

The police have arrested nine people so far, including two of the three shooters and Shubham Lonkar. The others, Nitin Sapre (32), Sambhaji Kisan Pardhi (44), Pradeep Dattu Thombre (37), Chetan Dilip Pardhi, and Ram Kanoujia (43), allegedly provided firearms and logistical support to the shooters.
